Chapter 37 Confrontation
  Bamboo forest courtyard.

Ning Muqing was lying on the bed looking at the starry sky above her head, feeling a little hopeless.

'Ning Muqing' was not taken seriously at home in the past, and even the kitchen blacklisted her.

He had been malnourished since he was a child. He was raised to be very skinny and never had a few full meals.

As long as she is hungry now, she will become very hungry and a little unbearable.

Ning Muqing never thought that her top surgeon would still have enough to eat and would starve to get food.

Xiangxiang heard that Ning Muqing's stomach was rumbling. He held something that he had not finished eating and said, "Miss, I didn't dare to eat all the things that Grandma Wang sent me. I left eggs and steamed buns for you. You can eat them anyway." Just order it.”

Ning Muqing glanced at the thing in Xiangxiang's hand and moved her head away.

"I'm not hungry, so you ate everything." She said weakly, "If Chu Lixuan comes later and doesn't talk, and doesn't take the initiative to improve our food, you'll drive him away."

A small leak will sink a great ship.

Chu Lixuan must have lost it before she did!
  At this time, the battle is about who is more cruel to me.

"Miss? Why? It must be very rare for the prince to come to our courtyard! Why do you have to drive the prince away?" Xiangxiang didn't understand.

"Anyway, just listen to me!"

As soon as Ning Muqing finished speaking, she turned around and saw the door of her room that she had specially opened. Chu Lixuan, whom she had been waiting for for a long time, walked in.

Chu Lixuan is tall and tall, with a body like a pine and cypress. He is dressed in dark brocade clothes, with a crown of jade on his head, and even his cuffs are embroidered with thin gold edges.

However, no matter how gorgeous the clothes appear on him, they can only serve as a foil, only highlighting his innate nobility and majesty.

Chu Lixuan was filled with arrogance and arrogance that looked down on the world.

This made Ning Muqing start to wonder what kind of face was underneath the bronze mask.

Chu Lixuan didn't even look at Grandma Wang who was still kneeling outside. He walked straight towards Ning Muqing and asked coldly, "Why don't you eat?"

"I'm not hungry." Ning Muqing said, scratching her neck.

At this moment, Ning Muqing's stomach made an unsatisfactory sound again.

The moment her stomach rang, Chu Lixuan's stomach also felt strange.

Chu Lixuan calmly glanced at Xiangxiang who was exiting, and asked calmly, "Are you sure you're not hungry?"

"I'm not sure you know that."

They now feel the same way, no one knows better than Chu Lixuan how hungry she is now.

Chu Lixuan looked at Ning Muqing coldly and said nothing.

Ning Muqing certainly wasn't looking for a topic.

The two faced each other silently through the air.

Finally, Ning Muqing's eyes fell on Grandma Wang kneeling outside the yard.

Chu Lixuan also followed her gaze, but still didn't speak, and the atmosphere suddenly calmed down.

Ning Muqing looked at Chu Lixuan. In the dark night, there was no oil lamp in her room and she couldn't see faces clearly. In addition, Chu Lixuan was wearing a jet black mask, so she didn't know what he was thinking. .

"Does the prince have anything else to do?" Ning Muqing said speechlessly.

Chu Lixuan said, "Nothing."

Ning Muqing, "..."

The look in his eyes clearly said, if nothing happens, just leave!
  Don't block me here, it's an eyesore!

"Miss, is it time to turn off the lights?"

Although he was very scared, Xiangxiang still followed Ning Muqing's instructions and shrank forward to remind him.

She didn't even dare to look into Chu Lixuan's eyes because there were no lights in their room and they relied entirely on moonlight for illumination.

After eating eight bowls of rice, he was still hungry. Chu Lixuan came over to see what happened, "..."

"Okay, that's almost it."

Ning Muqing nodded.

Hers was already very obvious, but Chu Lixuan did not leave.

Ning Muqing, "..."

She took a deep breath, and then remembered that it was only a matter of Chu Lixuan's words to achieve her goal, and it was not good to be too cold and harsh to Chu Lixuan. "Your Majesty, why don't you continue to ask me why I don't eat? What happened that left me without food?" Since she couldn't wait for the enemy to take action, she had better take the initiative.

"Say." Chu Lixuan's tone was very calm.

Ning Muqing, "..."

She took the initiative to bring up this topic because she felt that with Chu Lixuan's intelligence, she should know that it was because of Grandma Wang kneeling outside, and then she remembered that Grandma Wang's mistress was the concubine Zhao Sijing.

Then I thought, how could she, a normal person, not eat? Zhao Sijing must have skipped the ingredients.

Who would have thought that Chu Lixuan would not talk to him at all.

"Your Majesty, do you think it is an embarrassing thing for you to ask the kitchen to send some ingredients so that I can have a full meal?"

Ning Muqing didn't want to file a complaint directly, so she had to settle her food and clothing first.

Ning Muqing couldn't help but feel speechless as she watched Chu Lixuan glance at her face calmly, as if thinking about what she wanted to do.

The next second, he responded lightly.

"Come here, prepare the ingredients."

At this order, Ning Muqing moved her index finger.

With Chu Lixuan's instructions, the palace kitchen that had been turned off was restarted.

Ning Muqing specially asked them to only send ingredients and cook in person to show off their skills.

Since she didn't have dinner, she had to make herself a delicious midnight snack.

First, the big fish was cut open, and she cut the fish into thin slices using the same hands she had used to operate on patients in her previous life. The fish bones were marinated and fried in a pot to make soup.

Seeing Ning Muqing busy here and there, Xiangxiang couldn't help but wonder, "Miss, what delicious food are you going to make?"

“Sauerkraut fish hot pot.”

Ning Muqing smiled mysteriously.

Before Xiangxiang could ask, "What is pickled fish hot pot?", there was a sudden "crash" sound from the side.

Ning Muqing and Xiangxiang both turned around and found that it was Chu Lixuan who was holding the wall and vomiting.

The aroma of pickled cabbage and fish soup mixed with the sound of Chu Lixuan's "swishing" sound was like playing a symphony.

Xiangxiang returned his attention to the food and licked the corner of his mouth, "Miss, it's probably not because of the pickled fish hot pot that you made that the prince vomited."

"He was so busy that he vomited because he ate too much."

Ning Muqing brought the hot pot soup base to the small stove, filled the table with the prepared side dishes, and mixed a few ingredients. It looked particularly rich when placed on the table.

Originally, Ning Muqing wanted Xiangxiang to eat with her, but Xiangxiang didn't dare to break the rules because Chu Lixuan was here, so she refused no matter what.

Ning Muqing had no choice but to boil the food for her and let her take it back to her room to eat.

Chu Lixuan vomited all eight bowls of rice he had eaten at night. He raised his head and saw Ning Muqing sitting at the table.

Gurgling mist filled the room, filling the room with the delicious smell of pickled vegetables mixed with fish.

He was slightly startled, then walked over with a calm face, "What are you eating?"

"Sauerkraut and fish hot pot." Ning Muqing cooked a piece of fish for herself. It was tender and smooth in the mouth, melting without leaving any trace.

After finishing eating, she put down her chopsticks and asked, "Do you have anything else to do, Your Majesty?"

The atmosphere was once again cold.

This is the second time Ning Muqing has given Chu Lixuan an eviction order.

The pickled fish in the pot was still bubbling. Ning Muqing put a large amount of fish meat in, waited for a few seconds and then fished them all out. She turned to the man who was staring at the table in silence. ‘

After all, he was still eating the ingredients he had been ordered to prepare. Ning Muqing couldn't just drive people away while eating, so he asked very politely.

"Are you hungry, Your Majesty? Do you want a quick meal?"

Chu Lixuan's narrow eyes were slightly raised, and the unfathomable look of a superior could be seen between his eyebrows.

It's hard to guess what he's thinking.

Ning Muqing smelled a hint of danger.
